Patralekhaa Says Egg Freezing Was Harder Than Pregnancy in Candid Podcast Interview

She describes keeping the early months under wraps despite contract obligations, with Rajkummar Rao calling daily to check in.

Overview

  • The actor said she froze her eggs about three years ago, found the process physically and emotionally difficult, and ultimately conceived naturally without using them.
  • She recalled a negative result on a home test and said her pregnancy was confirmed later by her gynaecologist.
  • The couple kept the news private through the first trimester and proceeded with a previously signed travel show, which she described as scary due to the timing.
  • Patralekhaa said Rajkummar Rao has been away shooting yet checks on her every day, offering support while letting her make her own choices.
  • She noted strong cravings, including for vada pav, maintained a long-standing fitness routine until conception, and is reported to be in her second trimester.
